    Welp, one more entire episode devoted to Helck’s backstory with another on the horizon based on the episode preview. I like backstory and worldbuilding as much as the next person, but I feel like this could have been paced better. For the first 12 episodes we had almost no backstory about Helck and the humans. Then we are getting at least four entire episodes devoted to it in one giant exposition dump? It feels like it would have been possible to do both story and backstory at the same time rather than put a hard stop on the story so that we can have a whole arc just devoted to backstory.

    That being said, I do like the backstory being told and think it is interesting. It was also a solid gag to have Helck be so dense that he doesn’t even realize how dense he was being when his buddies were setting him up on a date.

    I’ll be surprised of the king is anything other than cartoonishly evil from what we’ve seen. And unsurprisingly, Helck is too pure to notice any of the malice in others. I wonder how evil, to his face, they’ll have to be to get him to swear to kill every human.

      I think that if they mess with his brother he could snap pretty easily. One of the only things we knew about Helck in the early part of the season is that he was supposed to have killed his brother. So, I fully expect the humans to force some kind of confrontation between Helck and Cless or just kill Cless and frame Helck so that Helck doesn’t spread the truth about the demons.
